Stacys Work 2

Part 2 A

Observe:

In this picture I see 4 kids from Alabama. The first thing that

caught my eye was that they were all not wearing shoes.

The people look like they range from 4-10 years old. The

setting seems like a decent day. There are no words in this

picture that I could see myself. Another this that I noticed was

that the one boy looks like he's so angry. Also, the 2 little kids

are looking at him and smiling, which made no sense to me.

Reflect:

I'm actually not to sure why this image was made, maybe

someone just wanted to take a picture of their children.

In this image they aren't doing much, they obviously

know that they're getting their picture taken and are being

normal and smiling. I think this picture was made a very

long time ago. I think this because the picture is in black

and white so it has to be before color pictures were made.

If someone made this picture today they would most

likely be wearing shoes and definitly not those clothes.

Also, the picture would be in color.

Question:

I honestly wonder who those people are and why they're

taking this picture. I wonder what they're doing in this

picture and what they're going to do with it. I wonder

when it was taken place and if they were that little

percent that could actually buy cameras. I also wonder

how they took this picture because back then they

obviously didn't have cameras that we have today.

Observe:

In this picture I see a lot of people just hanging out

around some store, I think. The first thing i noticed was the

people standing around. the people that are shown look

older than the kids in the last picture. They're all sitting or

standing next to eachother pretty much. I see words on the

sign that I think say tading post, but i'm not sure. It

also says retailm whole sale, eggs, and that's all I could

really make out. There's also a coca cola sign, I guess it

big in those days.

Reflect:

I actually don't exactly know the reason this picture was taken.

Maybe to show what the stores are like. Nothing exciting is

really happening in this picture. I think there was a lot of

people standing around, considering it's just outside of a

store. I could learn that the clothing back then was just so

different. Also, the way the stores were are very different too.

If someone made this picture today it obviously wouldn't be

black and white and the stores would be different. There

were be a lot of cars around instead of people walking around.

Question:

I would want to know who those people are, what they're doing

just standing around outside of a store. When this was taken

place andwhy they were taking this picture. I also wonder

how they took this picture.

Observe:

What I see in this picture is a Coca Cola store. What I noticed

first was that it looked very old. I also noticed that there was

absolutely no one there. There's no people shown, but there's

obviously a store there. The setting seems to be in the middle

of kind of no where. I see the words coca cola and that's about it.

I could also see that there's advertisements on and around the

store.

Reflect:

I think this image was made to show how popular coca cola was

back in the day. There's not much happening in this picture. I think

this picture was made a long time ago, considering it's all black

and white. What's missing from this image is people, usually there's

atleast a couple of people at a store.

Question:

I wonder why someone took this picture, why they took it the way

they did. Who took this picture, and is there supposed to be a

reasoning behind this. I wonder where this was at the time, also

what point in time it was.

Part 2 B

- Larger images available only at The Library of Congress

Observe:

What I see is a sign that is telling the colored people, or the

black people to go into a different waiting room than the

white people. What I notice first is that this has to be really

old because there is no longer segrigation in America.

The words I see say, "colored waiting room." Another detail

that I notice is that it's pointing in the other direction.

Reflect:

I think this image was made to show that there's no more

racism any longer. You could obviously tell that this picture

was taken a while ago considering the picture is black and

white.If someone would be to make this today it wouldn't

ever say that at all. I'm pretty sure you could get arrested

for a hate crime like this one. I guess things were a lot

different back then.

Question:

I would wonder why they took this picture, maybe to show

how different things are now a days. But, i'm not too sure.

I would also wonder who took this picture, because it was

from a long time ago. I wonder where this was, because

you can't really tell from this at all. I wonder how they took

it too because cameras and such were so different back then.

Theatre in Leland, Mississippi

Observe:

I see that this is a very small, not used very often theatre for,

"colored," people. The first thing I noticed is that it said colored

people. The next thing I noticed was that there was no one there

what so ever. It looked small, and not really nice. I think that

they did this for a reason because white people got everything

that was much better and high class.

Reflect:

I think this image was made a long time ago just like the other

image I just wrote about. I think this because of the whole

colored thing and how that's so mean and disrespectful now

a days. There would be nothing the same about this picture

because 1 it's small and not very nice, 2 colored and white

people share the same theatre.

Question:

I wonder where this picture was taken because it could

honestly be anywhere because places now a days always

have to have at least one or two cars parked somewhere

and this place just looks abandoned. I also wonder if a

white or a black person took this picture. Because if a

black person took this I think they wouldn't ever want to

go into it because that's such segrigation.

Signs behind the bar, in Birney, Montana

Observe:

I could see that there is a rule that you can't sell beer to the

Indians. I honestly thought that there was only segrigation

with black people, I guess not. I also see that they do not

give credit or loan money, so people shouldn't ask. They

honestly seem a bit harsh. This looks like it's been taken

in a bar or resturant of some sort.

Reflect:

I think this image was made to show that the colored people

weren't the only ones getting beat up on little things such

as this. I bet the black people just couldn't get beer anywhere

I wonder why it's just this store or resturant that won't allow

Indians?

Question:

I wonder who that lady was in this picture. I wonder how this

photo was taken, where exactly it was and how long ago it

was because obviously it was a while ago. I wonder who took

this picture and what they were trying to show.
